@Brandon9000,
What seems to be your problem now, Brandon9000?
Quote:The problem is that first you claim that Trump directed a mob to storm the Capitol building, but when I ask you again, and again, and again to quote the words in which he did it, all you give me is:
delivering a speech filled with appeals to "strength", the need to "fight"...
which is not a direction to storm the Capitol building.
Well, I think it
is inciting an armed and angry mob to take action to stop the counting of electoral votes in the Capitol.

As for perusing your link, I told you clearly, that I will not interact with a link to the Library of Congress...
But I never provided a link to Library of Congress; I don't know what you're talking about.
Quote: We've got freedom of speech around here and if you want to put someone in jail for talking, you have to show a clear solicitation to imminent violence, which telling people to be strong and fight is not.
Um...I don't have the power to put anyone in jail — what are you talking about? Impeachment is a political process, not a criminal trial. Trump wouldn't be facing jail time for inciting a riot even were he convicted, which is doubtful.
Quote:Virtually everyone urging people to protest says stuff like that. Give me the quotation(s) in which he does what you insist he did.
As I explained to you before, you need to consider the entire speech and the context in which it was delivered. Basically his refusal to accept the election results gradually grew into the idea of employing direct action to overturn the election by threatening lawmakers. Like we see in banana republics.
Quote:Virtually everyone urging people to protest says stuff like that.
And if they're addressing an armed mob they're subject to arrest.
Quote:You see, to me, unlike to you, freedom of speech doesn't mean "I should have the right to say what I think because I'm right."
That's an inaccurate representation of my position; I haven't said anything like that. I do, however, enjoy the right to criticize
you because you are wrong. Freedom of speech, in the USA, doesn't mean everyone has carte blanche to say absolutely anything anywhere anytime. That's not my opinion. Nor is it my ideal. But it's a real world fact and people shouldn't react with shock when it occurs.
Quote:It means everybody gets to say publicly what he thinks.
But it doesn't stop the law from investigating the consequences of statements that people make and prosecuting people for obscenity, fighting words, defamation (including libel and slander), child pornography, perjury, blackmail, incitement to imminent lawless action, verbal treason, true threats, and solicitation to commit crimes. You have a problem with that?
